Diagnosis and Treatment of Abnormally Calcified Renal Masses

We respectively reviewed 3 cases of abnormally calcified renal masses admitted to our hospital. We evaluated the clinical manifestations in the patients we treated and reviewed the literature regarding the diagnosis and treatment of calcified renal masses. Case 1, a 21 year old male, was evaluated for a right renal space-occupying lesion found incidentally on physical examination. CT imaging revealed a space-occupying lesion in the middle lower pole of the right kidney with peripheral circular calcifications and irregular calcifications. The lesion was low density on CT. Case 2, a 44 year old male, presented with right flank swelling pain and discomfort for 10 days. KUB and CT imaging demonstrated an abnormal round calcification in the dorsal midpole of the left kidney. Case 3, a 53 year old female, presented with dull left flank pain for more than 2 years. KUB and CT showed a round calcified lesion in the upper pole of the left kidney.
